    Buena Vista Cigars

    I bought a box of them a few years ago and all of them had very tight draws. Could have just been a bad box, but I haven't tried them again since.

    For those of you who might have missed the original announcement, John (@KayakinBoy) unfortunately passed away at the beginning of this year. I'm glad for this thread as it is a nice opportunity to remember him today...

    Cigar Lounge Rant (Mandan, ND)

    Nothing wrong with you asking, it was their answer that was the problem. I don't understand why would you chase away a paying customer?

    Cigar Lounge Rant (Mandan, ND)

    When I used to travel all over the country for work, I popped into lounges in many different places. My first intention was to always purchase something from the shop to smoke on-site, but if they didn't have anything I particularly wanted I asked on more than one occasion "if I purchase a...

    What SMOKING music are you listening to? (2025)

    This one combines Monday Morning Blues with My Music Monday. This is a video from a little patio gig I did a looooong time ago (obvious due to the lack of gray hair, beard, and 30 additional pounds) at a restaurant where my brother worked. My band was a backing track playing off a laptop...

    You'd probably have a better shot of getting him to change it to "Possum of America"

    What SMOKING music are you listening to? (2025)

    It's not often we're the ones informing you of music trivia (although I guess I didn't specifically reference George Jones in my post) 😆 "Possum" was famously George Jones' nickname due to his perceived resemblance to a possum in his younger age. Later in his career he was also often referred...

    What SMOKING music are you listening to? (2025)

    A few years ago I was sitting in an airport bar and got to talking to the guy next to me for a little bit. The conversation shifted towards music and I mentioned that I was a little bit of a country singer/songwriter myself. He said "what was your name again?" and when I told him it was Eric...

    What SMOKING music are you listening to? (2025)

    This discussion has made me realize it's been quite some time since I've even played this song, so I just recorded a little quick and dirty version on my phone. My voice doesn't have nearly the soul of Bonnie Raitt or Susan Tedeschi, so mine's a little more like the John Prine version.

    What SMOKING music are you listening to? (2025)

    WW. I used to perform this song all the time, but Susan Tedeschi makes me want to quit singing and playing guitar altogether.

    Now that 90's music is considered Classic Rock, call me Classic Eric.

    What SMOKING music are you listening to? (2025)
